Policy summary from Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum

An innovation policy framework is needed in order to increase growth and welfare in the Swedish economy

This year’s Swedish Economic Forum Report, An innovation strategy for Sweden, presents the idea of introducing an innovation policy framework in order to create trustworthy long term conditions that will serve to augment growth and raise prosperity in the Swedish economy. This proposal is inspired by the Swedish fiscal policy framework, introduced after the crisis in the early 1990s, to the country’s rapid emergence from the global financial crisis and strong macroeconomic position, compared to most other countries. A similar policy commitment is required to induce a dynamic and vibrant microeconomic environment. The report contains a number of concrete policy proposals.
